Are you an animal lover who prefers to work indoors? Then WA Wildlife's Recovery Ward program is perfect for you! Our program is designed for anyone who wants to make a difference in the lives of wildlife in need. No prior experience is necessary - just a passion for wildlife conservation. Volunteers will work in the WA Wildlife Hospital under the guidance of our experienced Hospital Manager or Supervisors. Our minimum commitment is just one 6-hour shift per week/fortnight, with shifts running from 8:30am-2:30pm or 2:30pm-8:30pm. This program has more training and competency requirements than our Rehabilitation program. Prior to commencing a 16 week competency training, volunteers need to complete an online learning module and attend a wildlife handling practical training session. Once you are a fully fledged Recovery Ward volunteer, you will have the opportunity to take on a full weekly/fortnightly shift or a shorter weekly shift (8:30am-11:30am or 5:00pm-9:00pm). As a volunteer, you'll be responsible for helping our sick and injured patients recover so they can transition into our rehabilitation programs. Joining our Recovery Ward program is a truly rewarding experience that has a direct impact on sick and injured wildlife. Some of your responsibilities include:

• Cleaning cages, vivariums, aviaries or other housing facilities
• Washing dishes, laundry, perches and equipment
• Sweeping, mopping of Hospital facilities
• Handling a variety of animals
• Weighing animals
• Husbandry and enrichment maintenance
• Record keeping
• Administering fluids and food via syringe or tube
• Administering non prescription medications
